Bonnie,
First, thanks for doing the reading on my mom's dog Brandy. Mom and Dad were greatly relieved to be able to have you chat with Brandy.
Next, Sorry about Glacier interfering with you getting started. I would have thought that he would have been nice to you since you have read him a couple of times. But I guess he had ideas all of his own, and to him this really was a "black and white" issue. After all, he thought you weren't supposed to be there. Laughs. I could see him outside staring off into nowhere and his ears were just moving around in a fashion that told me he was really listening, even if he wasn't budging on his behavior. Then when you asked for me to go get him and tell him that it was ok to talk with Brandy, I understood that he was being a real "pill". LOL. Still, showing you how angry he was about you being there wasn't very nice of him! But at least I know he loves his "grandma's" home and protects it as if it were his own! LOL.
I just had to tell you about Brandy though... It was so funny. During the reading yesterday, the barking you heard was her. What was funny though was that Brandy would tilt her head, then move her ears and/or eyebrows, and you could see that the wheels were turning in her brain as she thought about the reply to what you were talking to her about. Then she would let out a single woof. The tones of the woof that she was using was like when she talks to us and I got a distinct impression that they were like saying "yes", "no", "maybe", ect. It was not the type of tones that she uses when strangers are around or when she barks at things or even tells Glacier to bug off.
And each woof was slight different and always just a single woof as you know. I just had to share that with you as those single woofs like she was doing she had not ever done before. Normally she barks out full sentences, especially when she doesn't want to come into the house and Mom insists that she does come in. Then Brandy really "mouths off" and tells Mom exactly what she thinks. The sentences are just like humans in tone, like when ends a sentence the tone gets slightly deeper, or if a question the tone gets slightly higher. And these single barks so reminded me of one word answers or questions.
Anyway, just had to share that with you and with others of this forum as this is the first time I have actually got to observe an animal's reaction to your reading as normally I am at work when you read them for us. It really was quite fascinating to see.
And as soon as you were done, both dogs settled right down and they took a short nap. It was funny, but Glacier was much more "stuck like glue" to Brandy all of yesterday afternoon and evening. But overall, both dogs were very happy yesterday, and Mom and Dad were very pleased as well and Mom really understood what you had to say about her precious old girl and dignity.
Thanks again! ((((Hugs))))
